UP WITH TIE TIMES.
Our City's Growth Attracts Another
Prominent Business Firm Here.


One more proof, or rather result OF the
growth of Washington is the opening OF the
new shoe store of Messrs. Arthur Burt Il Co..
1911 + street. Messrs. Arthur and Walter
Butt, sons of Mr. John W. Burt, one of the
manufacturers of the "Burt shoe.' having
spent much time in Washington saw, in the
fnpid and substantial growth of the city,the op
portunity of establishing house for the sale
of shoes, and especially the Burt shoe, which
might rank with any house In any OF the
larger cities, and to this end have leased the
building No ELL street, fitted and furnished
the store room with every convenience which
their acquaintance with the leading retail
shoe stores of the country could suggest, and
have stocked 1t with shoes of every deserip'
tiOn.
1t is fortunate that the Messrs. Burt have
secured such good location on.F street, which
is so rapidly becoming the leading business
admirable room in which to dis
play ard sell their goods. On enter.
ing their store one secs at once that the
comfort and convenience of customers has
been as much thought of as the facilities for
transacting business.

leading store for the sale of shoes in Washing

every one who want reliable shoes, whether
low, medium, or high in cost, and they feel
that, with their experience in the making and

the best to be had OF every separate style and
grade of shoe.

The appointment Of Judge Montgomery
shows that the assertion made by some of

pledged by his party platform to appoint
only residents of the District to offices in it,
does not seem to have affected him. The

How Poor Books Are Doomed.

Boston Literary World.
Doubtless publishers know their business bet
ter than we do, but it seems to us that some of
them sometimes make mistake in selling their
imprint to authors, to be put on books which are
simply manufactured and sold on the authors
account. 1t is fact, suppose, that some
publishers will put any manuscript into print,
with their imprint upon it, for q consideration;
and it is also fact, we presume, that some pub
fishers will put their imprint upon no work
which has not intrinsic merits and rights of its
own to publication. There is difference Of
course. between intrinsic merit and market
able merit. Some Of the ablest and most val
liable publications slow of sale the cost Of
manufacture and risk in the same are consider
able, and publishers are justified in demanding
a guarantee against loss through small demand,
even when the intrinsic merit may be sufficient
to warrant them in lending their imprint. But
a publishers imprint ought to be a. stamp Of
value. In the case of some publishers it Is. We
known that book with their name on the title
page is book Of value, whatever may be our
ignorance of the author, or the book itself. And
we believe that all publishers would do we'll to

This difference is unusual few pulses falling be-

their pulse. as they often count its beats when
talking about the matter, and it is fact we'll
known to ply sicians that the excitement OF con-

twenty beats. The best time to arrive at the
true normal is shortly after waking in the morn
ing, when tho nerves are unexcited.
